11 Best Bar & Grill in Bakersfield

“Ethel’s is a family/pet friendly restaurant with inside or outside seating. Carla the owner is the sweetest lady and very hard worker. Always working alongside her employees. The food is great, prices are great for the amount of food. I crave Ethel’s food daily. Me and my family have tried everything on the menu and I highly recommend all of it. Ethel’s host a variety of local bands and line dancing in the event center with Bakersfield Line Dance instructor Joel Hoffman. There is always something to do at Ethel’s and always great food, atmosphere, drinks, and customer service. Thank you Ethel’s team“

“Love their Bloody Mary’s. 👍“

“Stopped into Rooster’s Cantina and let’s just say… The nachos disappeared faster than we’d like to admit and the burger absolutely hit the spot.
Huge shoutout to our server, Brooklyn, who brought great energy to the table. Friendly, fun, and the kind of service that makes a place feel like your new go-to spot. Great drinks, tasty bites, and a comfortable vibe. We’ll definitely be back!“

“I didn't actually go to the club, I was at the taco truck which is just outside of the club.The club is huge, it is right next to (Highland?) Lounge which is a hotel/motel.Alot of Latinx, Hispanics, and Spanish Speakers. People may speak English or possibly even Arabic.Maybe one to four White people, including me; I pass as White.No visibly Black people. If so I have never seen them here EVER. I've lived in this neighborhood almost all of my life.No Asians spotted that night.There is no significant Asian population here or in Bakersfield.There may have been some others like maybe Arabs, Jews, Middle Eastern, and India people. Huge Sheikh population here (attractive Sheikh temple located 2-3 miles from here).Al-Haitham (Arabic for young eagle or young falcon) bought Greenfield Market and renamed it Al-Haitham Market; they are next door to the club.Maybe demographics are changing it into an Arabic and/or Middle Eastern neighborhood.I was the only registered Native there (1/64 Cherokee).However alot of Mestizos which are basically Native and Spanish/Hispanics mix.It's not know to be segregated or have any race issues since the club is technically in Greenfield (soon to be Al-Haitham area?) just 7 miles south from Bakersfield.The club is close by schools like McKee school (used to have K-8) and Golden Valley High so be on your best behavior here.If you get into trouble like speeding over 25mph in school zones just be advised the fine may double if the incident happened within 1,000 ft. of a school.Speed limit on S. Union is 45 mph unless posted otherwiseDress code enforced.Many people dressed up in cowboy or Norteno Mexicano apparel ( palm cowboy hats, exaggerated and decorative belt buckles, blue denim jeans, and cowboy boots (yes even the long curvy tip boots).The women dress somewhat between Amish style to street walker apparel. Very modest here.No tank tops, No shorts, No sandals.I was denied access to enter the club because I wore Los Angeles sandals that night.“
